Wrapping Up September

It’s already the end of September! Is time flying by as quickly for you as it is for me?

It’s time to take a peek back at some of my favorite creative projects from the month.

In September, I threw together a simple but colorful fall vignette, hung a painted chalkboard door in the kitchen, and rounded up ten ways to repurpose old chairs.

I broke out my new bread machine and baked peanut butter bread {with a delicious peanut butter glaze} and rosemary bread {with balsamic rosemary dipping sauce}.  And with Halloween on the way, I had to grab some of the fun seasonal candies and make a candy corn snack mix for the kids {even cuter displayed in push pops stuffed into a pumpkin}.

I shared a hot cider bar {a fun and simple way to entertain this fall}, sewed sweet mermaid towels for my little girls for a last bit of warm weather fun by the pool, and hosted a colorful painting party to celebrate Tate’s fourth birthday.

Thanks for hanging out here every month … I love hearing your comments and seeing my projects shared!  See you in October!

    Love the hot apple cider bar. I have to fit this in before fall gets away from me!
